Nostalgic...
went back to nus today. firstly to get some books from the lib. damn it, 3 years of being there and i never realised they had books that were actually useful to me! d'oh. they hid it all the way in the HSSM lib. damn bizad! rejected me 3 times and still hide my books! grr.
it seemed like a symbolic way of ending my leave. like i've come a full circle. i'm a person that sees significance in the smallest of things, and i like the fact that things are well... balanced.
i actually enjoyed the day in nus. of course the main reason i went to nus was to have lunch with justin, but that's a side issue, i honestly enjoyed the day in school.
i met so many people in school, starting with vivien on the bus, fred and sam in co-op, robby for ice tea, terrence on the way home... and of course, some familiar faces in between. it felt different walking around nus, not the usual heavy depressing pressuring cloud over my head, but i felt pretty glad walking and talking the shuttle bus all around the campus.
as weird as it sounds, i felt liberated. like i conquered this part of my life, and i can hold my head up high, knowing that i have found a job that many finance grads wld clamour for. (kiss my ass bizaders)
but today was fun. i wished i knew what i wanted to do as a career earlier on, so my yr 1 and 2 life cld have been better planned. but oh well, it's no pt regretting now, cos there's no way time travel is possible. guess the only other thing left for me to do is help other young aspiring youths of singapore find their footing in life. (so noble right?!) i've been given so much, it's time for me to give back.
going to go back to the office tom and start clearing some of my stuff. maybe clear my mails and go through some of the online materials. today's the last day of my leave, and will be back in the office come monday. even though i've been there for 4 months now, monday will feel different. fbi is going to be my baby.
